Description

In this book, some of our most intriguing and creative contemporary writers weigh in on the world of comics. Here is Jonathan Lethem on childhood friendships, and the genius of Jack Kirby; Glen David Gold on the obsessive nature of collecting; Myla Goldberg about the disturbed visions of Chris Ware and Renee French; Steve Erickson riffing on the perverse patriotism of “American Flagg.” Here, too, are Luc Sante on Tintin, Aimee Bender on “Yummy Fur,” Greil Marcus on “Uncle Sam,” Lydia Millet on “Little Nemo in Slumberland,” and many others. “A quirky, thrilling, and compulsively readable celebration of the unique alchemy of words and drawings that forms the language of comic books.”
